Playbook & BB Bridge

just got a 32gb playbook, besides other issues set up BB Bridge with my Bold 9780 & after some initial issues it worked fine for a few days but ever since has lost connection & will not reconnect even tho i have tried every method of setup & reconnection again & again. Wifi & most everything else seems to work fine, getting fed up wasting my life trying to get this to work again, any help much appreciated! Thanks, Cal

Sorry for stating the obvious but presumably bluetooth on both the 9780 and the playbook are switched on and functioning correctly?

Playbook Blackberry bridge to browse photos on bb phone

I did update 2.1 for the Playbook.
I always use Playbook and Blackberry Bridge to show my clients photos I have on the phone .
Now the system is more complicated because to see the next picture I have to turn off the remote control and then click again on the picture next click to "open the playbook photography" and so on.
Besides the fact that it is slower through my bb 9810

Just curious - how did you look at your photos before? What was different?

Playbook (or Bridge) causing drops between BB Phone and Handsfree car stereo

I have my Playbook bridged to my Storm 2. In my car I have my Storm 2 connected via bluetooth to my hands-free stereo for making/receiving calls and I'm always streaming music from my phone to the stereo.
With the old bridge/OS, the music (connection) would drop or be interrupted for just a second every time I received an email. Annoying, but not a big deal. Sort of let me know I had new messages. Old problem.
Now with OS 2.0 (or new bridge..who knows) the interruptions occur every minute, AND when I get a new message. Its terrible. I have to shut off the Bridge on my phone in the car now in order to stream music. If I have my tablet suspended it doesn't help. If my tablet is not in the car or off, the problem is not there.
What's odd is that with bridge off, I will still get the little pauses when a new message arrives. I don't get it!
Any one else witnessing this? Any fixes?

I don't know how many people reading this particular forum (PlayBook) have a Curve. You could also try asking the question in the BB Curve forum at the link below:

I notice the BB Curve forum has threads involving Bridge so someone there may be able to provide help.

Support for Categorisation of Tasks on Playbook with BB Bridge - please?

The BlackBerry and Windows Phone are "task-savvy" as shipped. The iPhone and most Droids are not - you have to get a 3rd party task manager app for them. So the BB should have a natural appeal to those who want built-in task manager with minimal fuss and RnD. Add to this that the BB task manager plays nicely with its counterparts in Outlook/Exchange and Notes. This provides a natural appeal for those who want a built-in task manager that syncs readily with their corporate stuff.
Many personal organising systems rely on the use of categories for tasks. GTD is one of them, and very popular it is too, both with consumer users and corporates of all sizes. BB provides nice support for task categorisation, and so BB is a nice workshorse for corporate types who want to do GTD or something else that needs task categorisation. I guess RIM wants these people to be wanting PlayBooks too, no?
Why, then, oh why, oh why, does the Playbook, when bridged to a BB, have nothing to do with the categorisation of tasks? You can't group or filter existing tasks by category and when entering a new task, you can't give that task a category. When looking at an existing task, you can't see which category(s) it belongs to.
Standing in front of the oppostion's goal, ball at feet, with their goalie standing by the corner flag and .... whoops .. . over the bar it went.
Please:
1. Expose the category field on the "new task" and "existing task" forms, with the BB's master category list as a pick list behind it.
2. Give us a little drop-down on the Task folder so that we can pick a category to filter on. (I'm thinking of one like the one top left in Bridge email where you can pick which folder's contents you want to view)
There was a time when BB handsets had task folders that didn't support categories at all. That was many years ago. The requirement for task categorisation has not gone away, and is not confined to the handsets.
And breathe....

Given the dearth of replies to your post, you may have come to to conclusion that you're alone in your thinking but you're not, well at least not completely.

Playbook Bridge Browser Network error

The Bridge connected fine to my blackberry and all bridge apps are working well EXCEPT bridge browse. With bridge browse i get the window launch and then:
Error
a network error occurred
please try again later
No more information given by the browser. I would like to know if this is a bug or if it is possible that the playbook cant bridge with internet to my 9700 as if it is the later I will need to return the unit.

The big issue with it is going to be speed. Bluetooth is going to be the bottleneck, but hopefully they can find a way to increase the speed. It would be great if they could develop it to use a WiFi link between your BB and the PB, it would eliminate the bottleneck.
I would just be happy to have it load a page properly!

Could you please provide as much detail as possible on this issue so we can better assist?
What version of BlackBerry Bridge do you have installed?
Do you receive any error or warning message when the connection drops?
Are you accessing any specific features when this happens?
Are you always in the same environment when you have this issue?
What steps do you need to perform to restore your connection?
I look forward to your response.

Is the Blackberry bridge 100% compatible to connect to a Playbook 64GB with a new 9360 BB?

My question is around the following situation:
If I have a new 9360 Blackberry can I share my internet bandwidth via blackberry bridge to a new 64GB BB Playbook?

Bridge will work fine for emails, BBM and PIM but you might need a tether plan for bridge browser.

App Downloads to more than 1 playbook

how do I purchase an app for one of my playbooks but download to all three I own. Each Playbook is bridged to three different phones. All phones are connected to one wireless billing account

You don't, legally. It is my understanding that 'most' apps are licensed to the device, not multiple devices.
However, certain developers could have different licensing agreements, but that is up to the developer, not the BlackBerry nor AppWorld. As it is, AppWorld will ONLY install apps to the device using the BlackBerryID for which that app was purchased.

Problem accessing files via Blackberry Bridge

Not sure if anyone is having this issue....I've got the blackberry bridge installed, and I can access my messages, contacts, etc. However if I go into the Bridge Files menu, I am unable to open anything. I tap it and it just does nothing. If I go into the sheet to go app on the Playbook, I am able to access my files off my blackberry, however every single one opens up read only (which kinda defeats the purpose)
Any ideas? Is there a setting I am missing?

Bridge internet connection problem

Have been using playbook and bridge to my torch since November no problem. Yesterday had browser say my provider did not support the connection to my phone. Next time I connected no problem and no problems using it until this afternoon. No connection, no Internet via playbook but Internet on torch works great. Reinstalled bridge on the torch, no luck.
Any suggestions?

Maybe Telus wants you to do a tether plan. Did you do a battery pull for 30 seconds and delete the bridge connection on both before the battery pull and try it again.

BBM on Playbook won´t show chat

BBM on my Playbook suddenly stopped working properly cannot see chat only shows my contact list and the I warning when I get a new message, tried reeboting playbook, reinstalling bridge on bb nothing works what can I do?

Delete the profile in Bluetooth as well as the bridge application. Reboot the both devices', reinstall bridge and repair. If this does not work you will need to do a security wipe. Just backup your data first.

Bridge Encryption error after update

Am using a 9800 and Playbook. Bridge was working fine until update. Now I can't access my bridge mail or files. I can see them on the message counter and i get a notification that I have mail, but once I enter the device password on the Playbook, I get a "The encrypted file system did not unlock properly" message.
All software versions are current.
Please help.

I followed this...
http://crackberry.com/factory-reset-blackberry-playbook-also-fixes-bricked-devices
My apps purchase history was there in Appworld, I'm in the process of checking it's all available for download (which I expect to have to do).
FYI, all my work mail and calendar along with contacts are all there now within the Bridge folder - not the native folders. I hope there's a way to get them across to use the feature rich contact app.

BBM via bridge on OS 1.0.6.2390 and 1.0.7.2670

i've have had this problem since upgrading to OS 1.0.6.2390 . My BBM is not working on My Playbook via Bridge when i try to start it it gives me a White Screen with a green orb spinning in the middle.
I have deleted all my contacts and gave it a try it worked but as soon as i restored my list it went back to not working again. Then I deleted all my contacts again and add them back one at a time now it stops at 18 contacts. ( back to the spinning green orb)
I am using a 9550 with OS5.0.0.1082, I have 80 bbm contacts with 2 groups. I've also seen elsewhere where persons mention contacts the Fancy icons in thier bbm names may affect this so i've renamed all my contacts, so now noone has any of the fancy icons

To get BBMessenger on the PlayBook, you need 3 things:
Bridge update (1.0.0.83), I recomend 1.0.4.9 which is latest
PlayBook OS (1.0.3) or higher, best to get the latest version of PlayBook OS now at 1.0.7.2670
BBM update (5.0.3.22) available on App World via your smartphone.
delete the BlueTooth Bridge profiles on both devices, update bridge app if not done already
Then perform a Battery pull please, with the BlackBerry smartphone powered ON, remove the battery 15 seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot device. This will clear all cache like rebooting a PC.
on Playbook press power button and both Vol + - buttons for 10 seconds to reboot it.
setup bridge again and see if it persists.
